2023 Red River Valley Water Supply Project Legislative Funding Requests

The co-sponsors of the state Red River Valley Water Supply Project (RRVWSP) and the future end users of the project are busy preparing for North Dakota’s 2023 legislative session. Garrison Diversion Conservancy District (Garrison Diversion) and Lake Agassiz Water Authority (LAWA) hosted informational workshops for legislators in Bismarck, Carrington and Fargo in November and December.

The events provided an overview of the need for the drought mitigation project, how water will be conveyed from the Missouri River, construction progress, and funding needs to complete the project in a timely manner. The RRVWSP will provide an emergency and supplemental water supply to cities and rural water systems via buried pipelines spanning from central to eastern North Dakota when constructed.
